I wonder whether it is worth the effort.

There are a lot of areas of the code that could benefit from a code
change, so I think we are going to want to break the API anyway.

However if a report is required, I don't think the package names need
to be restored.
The jars can be built and then the Shade plugin can be used to fix up
the names for use with Clirr.
